If the court signs off on the order, Apple and Google will be told to hand over not just the names of anyone who downloaded the scope app from August 1, 2017 to the current date, but their telephone numbers and IP addresses too, which could be used to determine the location of the user. The government also wants to know when users were operating the app.
Scary as shit!
It’s looking into illegal exports of ATN’s scope, though the company itself isn’t under investigation, according to the order. As part of that, investigators are looking for a quick way to find out where the app is in use, as that will likely indicate where the hardware has been shipped. ICE has repeatedly intercepted illegal shipments of the scope, which is controlled under the International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR), according to the government court filing. They included shipments to Canada, the Netherlands and Hong Kong where the necessary licenses hadn’t been obtained.
It will get better soon.
I guess I'll start reading all that privacy and fine print stuff that every app has but gets ingored
Privacy policies always - ALWAYS - say all bets are off on retained data when facing a judge’s order. The fine print will tell you when they will or won’t sell info or publicly disclose it, but there’s always a big carve-out for subpoenas.
The only way to absolutely keep a record out of the hands of the GOV is to not create the record in the first place.
because people do not spoof their VPN to appear in the USA all the time....
ATN has not been contacted by the Department of Justice, Apple, or Google,” the company said in a statement to American Military News on Friday.
“ATN will protect its customers and their identifying data to the absolute extent possible under U.S. law. And, it will not provide any information regarding the identity of our customers to any third party unless specifically required by law,” the statement continued.
I don't know why anyone would ever want a scope that connects to the internet. It's obvious you'll be spied on.
People watch movies like "The Jackal" with Bruce Willis and think they are the cure for mediocre marksmanship.
